Luteral phase??

I hope to get some clarification...... we are on our 6th cycle of trying and my question basically is...once you ovulate, does AF always come 14 days after that, or could it be later? My AF the past couple of months is a few days later, but I don't think I'm ovulating later....when I was looking online, I read it's ALWAYS 14 days after that you get AF, otherwise you're O'ing later...just wondering...thanks!!

Oh know 14 days is an average. For me when I trying for number 2 I would get AF about 9-11 days after I O'd. So you very well maybe not get your period 14 days but 16 days or whatever. The best way to tell is to chart.

Your LP should stay about the same every month.

That's the thing, when I first went off the pill months ago, I was exactly 28 days. But the past couple of months my AF has changed, where on the 28th day I get what looks like the start of AF, then it stops and I really get it a few days later.....should I call my OB?

Thanks Charlene, the site I was looking at was adamant that it had to be every 14 days!

I bet that your LP could change after the pill got out of your syst em.

it is alwasys (maybe within a day) the same number of days from o to AF. so for me, it is 11-12 days, but for "jane doe", it is alwasy 13-14 days. and for 'mary jones' it is alwasy 15 days.

if mary ovulates 2 weeks later than usual, her AF will come 2 weeks later, but still 15 days after O.

your luteal phase can shift over time, but it is usually a day at at a time. like over the course of 4 cycles, maybe your LP can shift to being 4 days later, but only o day a month longer. UNLESS you are taking a lot of b6 - my LP shot ahead from 8 days to 12 in one cycle.

and the LP is rarely longer than 16 days, unless of course one is PG. GL!!

Thanks Brandy, I prob went off the pill about 6 mo ago, I guess I could still be adjusting! I don't chart, maybe I'll try and that could help. Thanks!

I just wanted to add my lp for the 4 months before I got pg was btn 11-19 days (hence is why i got pg) so it can vary at time based on many things.
